~ wool
~ pre-felted balls
~ glass eyes
~2 felting needles
~Felting Cushion (a surface to work on, so your needle has something to stab into on the other side of your felting project)
~Instructions on how to make the Whale with photographs of each step by Fiber Artist Teresa Perleberg.
This kit includes everything needed to complete this project except a needle and thread to sew in the eyes
OPTIONS:
1. Complete kit – This kit has everything listed above, and is everything you need to complete this kit.
2. No cushion and needles – I offer this option for those who would like to purchase more than one kit. You will only need one set of needles and one cushion for multiple felting projects. Please note that I remove the cushion and needles from a complete kit for this option. The packaging will stay the same and will state that the cushion and needles are included even though they have been removed.
No previous felting experience is necessary however starting with a beginner kit would be easier. This kit does not require any sewing, knitting or crocheting skills.
The finished Bison will measure about 6Â XÂ 4Â inches depending on how firmly it is felted.
This project will take you about 4 hours to complete if this is your first time felting.
Our wool comes from a carefully managed flock of sheep raised on our North Dakota farm. We selectively breed for wool that felts exceptionally well—dense, consistent, and free of the slipperiness often found in imported or Merino blends. The result is a fiber that grabs quickly to the needle, holds its shape, and allows for smooth, even sculpting with less effort. This makes it ideal for creating solid, three-dimensional forms, fine details, and expressive features in your felting projects.
After shearing, the wool is washed and processed in our own fiber mill located in the renovated historic Nome Schoolhouse. By handling the entire process ourselves—from growing the wool to dyeing and packaging it—we ensure the highest standards of quality, traceability, and sustainability. This small carbon footprint approach not only supports our local economy but gives you confidence in the materials you use.
